マタイの福音書 19:12

というのは、母の胎内から、そのように生まれついた独身者がいます。また、人から独身者にさせられた者もいます。また、天の御国のために、自分から独身者になった者もいるからです。それができる者はそれを受け入れなさい。」

For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother’s womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
